In the interest of player to player trade, and since the gatling turret is such a common drop...

I would suggest a new class of gatling turret dropped by Arklans.

These would have a slight buff, but not enough to compete with the queen turret.

I'm thinking drop energy requirement to 11/blast vs the current 12 and or cut 200kg off of the weight.

Just enough to make it desirable over the standard to people who use the turret regularly.

Also, could we add a bit of AA to the gatling cannon so it get's some love?

The queen gat is desirable because it has reduced scatter. The combat benefit of this is largely unsubstantiated but it does seem to score the occasional extra hit where it seems the gatling might have missed.

Energy efficiency and weight reduction is not really what would make a new gat attractive, increased speed is what would do that. 5m/s+ would make it the top tier choice for gats.
